I am writing a tip for
http://www.ChicagoTech.net which will published soon.
System Error 1240 - The account is not authorized to login from this
station.
Symptoms: 1. You may get the system error 1240 when using net view
\\remotecomputer'
2. "Workgroup_name is not accessible. Account is Not Authorized to Log In to
this Station" when attempting to browse the workgroup from a networking
computer.
Resolutions: 1. Use Regedit to enable unencrypted (plain text) passwords for
the SMB client.
2. Enable Send Unencrypted Password to Connect to 3rd Party SMB Servers
under Local Security Policy.
3. Set the following policies as showing:
Digitally sign client communications (always) - disabled
Digitally sign server communications (always)- disabled
Digitally sign server communications (when possible) - disabled
LAN Manager Authentication Level set to Send LM and NTLM - use NTLMv2
session security if negotiated - (default) send LM & NTLM responses
Secure channel: Digitally encrypt or sign secure channel data (always) -
disabled
Secure channel: Require strong (Windows 2000 or later) session key -
disabled
4. Contact the third-party SMB server manufacturer if you have a third-party
SMB server, such as DEC Pathworks, Samba or Linux.
